Families looking to slow down and relax this summer should head to the coastal town of Baja California Sur. Here, families can engage in hands-on learning through wildlife encounters, outdoor activities and cultural experiences.

From June through August, take part in one of the destination’s most unique conservation experiences, releasing baby sea turtles into the ocean. Led by local organizations like Grupo Eco Alianza, these efforts are both educational and moving, especially for young travelers seeing the ocean through new eyes.
Check out Loreto’s Saturday Artisan Markets, held in historic Plaza Juárez, where families can experience local traditions firsthand. The plaza will be filled with craft vendors, food vendors, local musicians and sometimes even a dance performance. Children can meet and interact with local artists, put their skills to the test with pottery and weaving, and try regional dishes like tamales and fresh churros. The market is a combination of cultural celebrations and everyday life, making it a unique experience for all.

Families can also connect with the destination’s history. Misión de Nuestra Señora de Loreto, built in 1967, is a symbol of the first permanent Spanish mission in the Californias. The building’s architecture and historical artifacts reflect the complex blending of Indigenous and colonial influences. Take a guided tour of the property to learn about the mission’s role in early settlement and missionary efforts through the peninsula.
